In regard to the ad, we noted that the photograph is real and was not doctored. It's also true that the building in the picture is the only dwelling on the island of Elliðaey. An older and much smaller building still exists on the island, but it's now only used for storage. Nearby is a larger island known as Heimaey. Heimaey is the only island that...
According to various accountsthat we found online, the Elliðaey Hunting Association constructed the lodge on the island in 1953. We also found information about how the hunters who stay at the lodge purportedly hunt puffins. Newspapers archives from 1973 provided more details. During that year, the Arizona Republic reportedthat puffins, gannets, pe...
Little is known for sure about Elliðaey's past or the "world's loneliest house." We found several online articles that told of five families that inhabited the island in the 18th century. While it's possible that this is true, none of the articles we found provided any sources to confirm this information. It appeared that they had simply copied and...

The confusion stemmed from news stories in February 2000 that described a second Icelandic island also named Elliðaey...
There also appeared to be two islands where visitors had tagged the "world's loneliest house" on Google Maps. One person incorrectly placedit on the island of Suðurey. In reality, Suðurey is located south of Heimaey, while Elliðaey, the correct island with the lodge, is northof it.
The ad that led us to research the photograph of Elliðaey took us to a 40-page slideshow articlewith the headline: "The Mystery Of The 'World's Loneliest House' – And The Dark Truth About Why It's Empty." However, in no part of the lengthy story did it mention anything about a "dark truth" about why the building is supposedly empty. To give an idea...
In 2017, Bjarni Sigurdsson's YouTube channel posted a videothat documented an entire trip to Elliðaey, even showing part of the rocky ascent from a boat to the island: According to the video, as of 2017, the lodge featured two floors, beds, couches, framed photographs, tables, and chairs. Also seen in the video were a stove, grill, refrigerator, ra...
